If
you drive at night with no lights, you may end up in the middle of
nowhere or plastered around a tree! If you build a house with no blueprint,
you may find the toilet centered in the dining room. Yuck!

If
you play a football opponent, you need a game plan. If you cook dinner
for 10, you need a menu. If you go on vacation, you need a check-list
and plan.

Today,
the president and leaders in Congress fail to plan for the future
of the United States of America. Instead, they govern by helter-skelter
responses to every crisis.

For
example, hydrologists and developers knew that Lake Lanier, Georgia
could not continue to provide water for unending growth in the Atlanta
area. Yet, they encouraged growth. Result? Today, they cannot provide
water for over five million residents. Action? They want to move Georgia’s
border two miles north so they can tap into the Tennessee River for
more water.

How
stupid is that? Pretty friggin’ stupid! Why? It solves nothing. It
pushes growth problems onto the next generation. Demographic experts
predict Georgia will grow from 8.5 million to 16.4 million! Will they
stop adding homes? Take a guess!

Another
example: presidents and Congressional reps ignored illegal immigration
pouring into America for three decades. Today, it’s inundating this
country with diseases, tax fraud, forged IDs, lawlessness, overwhelmed
schools, hospitals and our prisons. It boils across the land with
the world’s greatest drug distribution network that affects countless
communities.

If
you look anywhere in our national leadership today from governors,
to senators, and to the House representatives--no one provides a national
plan for a sustainable or viable future.

What
does that mean to you and what should we do?

Simple,
and elegant – we have no plans, but we need:

National Vision
to infinity – today to 100 years from now

Strategic Plan
- the Year-2017 –Ten year plan

Tactical Plan
- the Year-2012 – Five year plan

We
citizens must take the throttle, stop the train – put everything on
hold – and come together, independent of race, color, creed, national
origin, or political party, to behave responsibly and author a U.S.
National Vision--complete by September 2008, U.S. National Strategic
Plan--complete by April 2009, and a U.S. National Tactical Plan--
complete by November 2009.

Meanwhile:

1.
Economists tell us Iraq will cost $3 trillion. Long term projection—over
$5 trillion! No more denial – pride goeth before the fall. We
must stand tall, save ourselves and admit our stupidity in Iraq.
We must ask the U.N. to declare and enforce a truce, while we
withdraw, our remaining soldiers intact – publicly vowing to "never
do that again." Each and every one of us owns a piece of that
imperialist emotional morass. “Weapons of Mass Destruction” my
rear end!

2.
We must restore credibility: place citizen-taxpayers first – take
control of our international borders and ports-of-entry – to protect
our sovereign nation.

A.
During the period 2008 – 2015, seven years, temporary, our president
must order the best-abled and most savvy-experienced to control
our most leaky borders.

i.
Department of Defense--USMC on our southern border, while
their 'cousins,' the U.S. Navy SeaBees, construct a world
class, humane security-fence (synergistic physical-electronic)
– just like they have done for our worldwide submarine bases.
This is a porous see-through, neighborly, fence.

ii.
DoD-USA (Army) and Coast-Guard on our northern border.

iii.
DoD-USN guarding our beaches and seaports, working side-by-side
with the DoD-USCG, permanently reassigned from the Department
of Homeland Security fiasco.

B. Re-invent
DHS: During the period 2008 – 2011, three years, our president
must order the U.S. DHS to shift into "reduced-ops mode" while
they re-invent themselves, to eliminate the corruption and criminal
attitudes from FEMA, ICE, and other agencies. The DOJ-FBI, DoD
Army Corps of Engineers, and the 50-state governors will work
arm-in-arm together to perform the necessary duties to augment
the new National Border Integrity Force to perform the tasks
once done by the old "homeland security" forces.

i.
As we "re-invent" ourselves, we MUST implement a 10 year moratorium
on all immigration.

ii.
The current DHS Secretary shall resign, with honor, just after
he and the President disestablish the DHS forever.

iii.
The President will create a new Cabinet-level position, entitled
the U.S. Immigration CEO, to;

a.
Create the first-ever “U.S. National Immigration Strategic
Plan,” and a "U.S. National Immigration Vision" statement
to scope that plan.

b.
Author the first-ever "U.S. Immigration Tactical Plan,"
to carry out the near-term pieces of the Strategic Plan
and Vision, as above.

c.
Direct new lines-of-control for each and every immigration
and immigration-related function now housed within the Departments
of State, Labor, Commerce, Homeland Security, etc. Order
and enforce arms-length distances from organizations such
as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

d.
Reassign the U.S. Bureau of Census from the Department of
Commerce to henceforth report to a totally unbiased and
unaffiliated entity. Direct the Census experts to work tirelessly
with NFP-NGO groups such as Pew and the CIS – on the creation
and maintenance of the aforementioned National Plans, checks,
and balances.

e.
The DoD, assisted by the DOJ-FBI, will issue and police all
immigration documents during the interim 10 years period.

C.
Sub-contract all document processing to CitiBank or a similar
high-integrity, secure corporation, to include issuance of a
"fraud-proof" personal-ID card to each and every immigrant –
and collection of 10-finger prints, DNA tags and two mug-shots.
All data automatically up-loaded to federal DOJ-FBI NCIC & AFIS
data files for automatic comparison and automated "suspect nomination"
for those with criminal-alien records.

D.
During the seven-year period, the U.S. Marshal Service, assisted
by the DOJ-FBI, will work in the CONUS interior to vigorously
enforce all existing Immigration Laws (Title 8, USC – etc), emphasizing
errant employer behaviors first, and errant illegal immigrants
second. Arrest, prosecute and jail employers of illegal aliens.
Attrition through enforcement!

3.
Preservation of Law-and-Order at all times and at all levels of
government in the U.S. must be restored. We are the UNITED States
of America. Our law-enforcement and justice-system officers, in
the shadow of the U.S. National Flag, take a pledge to honor their
country first and foremost.

4.
The President and the U.S. Congress shall work closely and cooperatively
together to write a law to properly interpret the 14th Amendment,
and put an abrupt end to the blatant practice of granting "instant-citizenship"
to children of foreign-nationals who are in the U.S. lacking "lawful
presence."

5.
The U.S. Congress shall pass a law, and the President shall sign
that law, forevermore stopping the red-carpet of expensive "welcoming
enticement practices," such as granting social-services to foreign-nationals
who are in the country lacking "lawful presence," and to their
children as well;

a.
Education in U.S. public schools (K-12) is henceforth restricted
to children of citizen-taxpayers and foreign-nationals legally
in the U.S.

b.
Emergency care in U.S. hospitals and medical facilities is henceforth
restricted to citizen-taxpayers and members of their families.
Lawfully documented legal immigrants and foreign-nationals visiting
the U.S. while holding lawful immigration documents are, as
in other first-world nations, to be assisted within reasonable
limits during their legitimate time here.

c.
Affordable housing and the other social-services are restricted
to those citizens and legal immigrants specified in paragraph
4.b above.

d.
In summary, any person who renders or receives services outside
the boundaries specified above commits a felony; the consequences
must be severe and swift. If we hedge and molly-coddle and cajole
– the hemorrhaging will continue. This is not intended to prevent
churches, NGO-NFP groups, and/or 501.c.3 groups from traveling
to foreign nations to render service and aid while there – BUT
NOT HERE.

6.
The U.S. President, and his/her experts – working arm-in-arm WITH
the U.S. Congress, is hereby directed to author the first-ever
"U.S. National Continuous Infrastructure Improvement and Sustainability
Strategic Plan," to be completed and approved no later than Jan
1, 2009. In phase-2 of this action, a corresponding first-ever
"U.S. National Continuous Infrastructure Improvement and Sustainability
Tactical Plan" will be completed, approved, and included in the
"U.S. National Comprehensive Budget Plan" no later than September
1 2010.

The Strategic
and Tactical plans must include the top-ten components, pure water,
sewers, protect crop growing-fields as "open space," highways,
transit, etc, which are crumbling because we set them up to fail.
A key part of this critically important set of nested plans is
the obvious need for specific limit-to-growth rates.

7.
We must avoid any appearance of impropriety in viewing and dealing
with any religious group in our nation. That said, any such group
that foments or advocates violence of any kind, in thought and/or
in deed – particularly against another religion or our nation
itself – must be vigorously discouraged and stopped by whatever
means necessary. This prohibition includes the support of any
such affiliated groups which are functioning in foreign-nations.
Enforcement includes, but is not limited to, denial of tax benefits.

8.
We must repeat this mantra loud and often; foreign-nationals are
NOT U.S. citizen-taxpayers, and thus do not have Constitutional
rights while here unlawfully. The benefits and privileges that naturally
accrue to U.S. citizens and legal immigrants were never intended
to benefit foreign nationals. For example, perhaps in a desire to
appear as if we honor cultural-diversity over nation, we used to
grant bail-bonds, plea-bargains and guaranteed-discounted mortgages
to foreign-nationals who are in our nation lacking "lawful presence."
No more! Cultural diversity within the bounds of citizenship!

Our
U.S. and state attitudes have drifted so far away from our citizen-taxpayer
Bill of Rights, Constitution, and Laws that we have become the laughing-stock
of the world. We move toward reinvestment of our laws.

This
plan may be tweaked, evolved and enhanced by essentially smart, wise,
patriotic and intelligent leaders to fit our current and future realities.
Paramount in this endeavor: critical thinking versus emotional or
entrenched former paradigms! We seek a viable, sustainable and livable
future for all U.S. citizens as well as our fellow creatures.

We
must lead the world toward a viable, sustainable and livable future
for all humankind.
